Dad=divide
Mom=multiply
Sister=subtract
Cat=compare
Brother= bring down
Rover= remainder/repeat
Dad=Divide
Check and see if the
divisor goes into the
first number of the
dividend. (does 5
go into 8--can you
make 1 or more
groups of 5?) If not
put a 0 as a place
holder and move
onto the two digit
number.

Mom=Multiply
Now multiply
the number
you just
wrote with
the divisor.
Put that
number under
the digit(s) in
the dividend.

Cat=Compare
Is the difference
smaller than the
divisor? If no-the number you
multiplied by was
too small--try
again. If yes, go
on to the next
step.

Rover =Repeat/Remainder
After you bring down
the next number
you start the
process all over
again with brought
down number. If
there is still a
number left over
that is the
remainder.
